Hey guys, this is my weeksii bichir. He is my 1st bichir that i have ever got from MFK and I got him from David (Languistic). He was 7" at that time and was pretty dull at that time.

He used to not eat much and would always hide. I actually traded him with Frank (Framcesco) for a really nice 10" WC senegal bichir and an 8" WC light based senegal. well after a month or so, i got him back lol

anyways, ive had him for about 5 months and he is 8-9" and is pretty active and loves to eat tilapia, smelt, and massivores.

he has a very striking and bold pattern (thicker stripes and very bold horizontal lines) as well as alot of green on his head and fins. he is actually starting to get green throughout his whole body.

so here are some before and after pics of my weeksii

enjoy :)

Great pattern, very nice fish!! Still on the lean side but that will change:) In a couple of years that will be quite a monster!
